What I think Judy has, and what I do, is scan two pages in one page mode. I started doing this because if I scan in two page mode and a page is very short, like the last page of a chapter, Omnipage tends to want to just skip that page for some reason. So I started scanning two pages in one page mode, and then Omnipage puts this nifty little column break in instead of a page break. This sounds to me like what Judy is encountering. If it is, then it should be easily replaced by replacing all ^n (a word column break) with the ^p^m^p (space page break space). If not then she's got a different kind of animal. -- Jamie in Michigan Currently Reading: Fantasy in Death by J.D.
